The organization, which returned in April after a 17-month hiatus, inked some familiar names in a variety of weight classes. They all hail from Europe, where the promotion holds the majority of its events.

“I want to welcome all of the new guys to the Cage Warriors family,” stated Cage Warriors President Graham Boylan, who proudly boasts of his fighters graduating to the UFC after finding success with Cage Warriors. “We are in this big, and we will continue to deliver more great events to our network partners, BT Sport, Viasat and UFC Fight Pass. This is one of the best platforms for any MMA fighter to display their skills.”

Among the signings are middleweight Che Mills (16-8), a 33-year-old English fighter and former UFC co-headliner, and bantamweight Vaughan Lee (14-12-1), who recently concluded a four-year stint with the UFC.
